Ah, sounds like it's the piece that connects the left side safety to the right side safety. Without it, one side will move, while the other doesn't.

All Nova slide catches do this. It's missing a machined ramp that allows easier installation/removal of the slide catch. Look at the area that contacts the plunger on the Marui safety lever and compare it to the Nova. Hit that same spot with a Dremel side drill or file to mimic the feature. I have to do this to all Nova slide stops I install.

They're more durable (handle wear better), and they're a bit heavier. Slightly stiffer as well, but otherwise, mostly cosmetic.

Not greased at all.
